While 2021 is behind us, one of Star TV’s series that did not hold this season emerged as Sana Söz… The audience was very excited when the series that brought Nehir Erdoğan and Erkan Petekkaya together was also an action production.
The ratings that came after the show started airing were disappointing. It was not an unfair ascription that the character of Elif Karaca, played by Nehir Erdoğan, was compared to the famous presenter Müge Anlı. The character of Elif Karaca was like the reflection of what Müge Anlı has been doing for years with her effort to solve a murder case on television.
However, there is another detail that comes to mind about the series. The reluctance of Erkan Petekkaya, who plays a policeman named Ömer in Sana Söz, did not go unnoticed. The actor also suffered from kidney disease at that time. It was even claimed that the actor’s discomfort had a share in the ending of the series.
Sina Koloğlu, one of the writers of Milliyet, drew attention to Erkan Petekkaya’s situation in the project and commented, “It was as if he was not very willing.” In fact, many TV series fans also noticed the actor’s reluctance.
Was this a distrust of the story or was it a reflection of the discomforts he was experiencing at that time? This question stuck in mind.
Sina Koloğlu commented on the series in his column:
“Word to you, his expectations were high again. There was talk on social media that Nehir Erdoğan was acting as the exact replica of Müge Anlı. Erkan Petekkaya did not seem very willing. Seven chapters endured.”
